About Me
Magdalena Watling is a midwife, mother, wife and founder of Birth Therapies, specialising in Birth Preparation, Hypnobirthing, helping with fear and anxiety around birth and pregnancy and is one of the first certified Birth Trauma Resolution practitioners in the UK, accredited by the Royal College of Midwives.
During her time as a senior midwife, Magdalena has gained varied and valuable experience working in many settings including delivery suite, antenatal and postnatal settings, early pregnancy clinics, screening clinic and maternal medicine clinics working alongside some of the top specialist Consultants in the country. She has attended to hundreds of births and in many cases seen clients from the very beginning through to the birth and beyond. Magdalena has 10 years of experience working within the NHS and 5 years within European medical care settings.
Through her personal and professional experience she has seen a need for unique, personalised support that goes beyond traditional care and attitudes which is successful, fast and effective to truly transform and empower your birth experience.
Magdalena has been practicing and witnessing the wonderful effects of hypnobirthing during work on the labour ward in last 10 years and recently trained as KGH hypnobirthing teacher. She strongly believes in deepening the connection with our unconscious mind. She is passionate about exploring and learning about neuroscience and neurobiology of birth and relationships between mum, dad and baby. This has led to her dedication to create a range of unique and bespoke services that are free from medicalisation, negativity and are truly holistic. The methods and techniques taught and used at Birth Therapies will allow you to have a wonderful, calm and empowering experience of birth.
Why KG Hypnobirthing?
- Comprehensive packages designed to your specific needs.
- Birth Preference discussion and guidance.
- Bespoke and personalised relaxations that will be recorded and designed to suit your personality characteristics and birth choices.
- Extra downloads of antenatal relaxations and CD with Katharine Graves hypnobirthing and affirmation tracks.
- The Hypnobirthing Book by Katherine Graves will be provided free of charge with scripts and techniques with materials to take home. Printouts and a folder with notes from the sessions.
- My background as a midwife means you can ask questions that other teachers may struggle to answer.
- I believe that flexibility, openness and kindness whilst working with couples is the most important in birth preparation. I love when women and partners are owning their decisions and are happy to verbalise their needs, but I am aware that sometimes it’s hard to do this, so I am ready to assist you with Birth Plans and even packing and checking your hospital bag, so you may feel more in control and can relax whilst waiting for the baby’s arrival.
Testimonials
Magda was my midwife for the last hour and a half of labour with my first child. My contractions had begun 24 hours before so I was very tired by this stage but Magda helped me take control of the situation, enabling me to have the calm and comfortable birth and teaching me how to breathe my baby down effectively. Her encouraging instructions helped me stay focussed and stopped me from panicking. After the birth she helped me get a good position and latch with breastfeeding and encouraged me to persevere with it even when I was tired - I am convinced this was vital in getting us off to a good start, and my son became an excellent feeder! I am now expecting my fourth child! Julia, Bath, Mum of 3
Hi Magdalena,
Thank you for your kind and amazing help. We are so happy! Our boy was born this morning very nearly in the water, just had to get out for a small cut to be made. He is 6lb10 at 40 weeks plus1.
The midwife said I coped very well and was extreemly calm. I wouldn’t have had the grit if it wasn’t for your help facing what was going to happen. Thanks so much xx Emma, Bristol Mum of 2
